  • Publication number: 20240033173
    Abstract: An electronic device for percussive massage therapy. The device includes a reciprocating member configured to move at any number of different amplitudes and frequencies. In one example, the device is configured with a number of gears including a planetary gear, a ring gear, and a positioning gear, which permit amplitude to be varied between a great number of amplitudes within a predetermined range. The user may adjust frequency and amplitude of the reciprocating member in real time. In one example, the reciprocating member is adapted to vibrate to permit vibration therapy in addition to percussive therapy.

  • Publication number: 20230188504
    Abstract: Techniques for operating a proxy service that imports information about resources and for determining how to handle the resources are disclosed. Policy is used to configure the proxy service, which is provisioned to operate between a client and a provider service. A request is then received (e.g., from the client) for a resource that is available from the provider service. In response to the request, the proxy service imports claims describing the resource. The proxy service evaluates the claims using the policy to determine how to respond to the request. Based on the evaluation, the proxy service provides a response to the client.

  • Patent number: 10200722
    Abstract: A device and method for collecting data from an event and retransmitting same with high value portions of the data identified. Low value portions of the data from the event are identified so, if desired, they may be removed and replaced by other data, such as stats from the event, stats from other events, and trivia relevant to the event. Indications alert end users that the data signal is returning to high value portions.
